A wood specimen was prepared with actual dimensions of 25 mm * 25 mm * 150 mm and grain parallel to its length. Displacement was measured over a 100 mm gauge length. The specimen was subjected to compression parallel to the grain to failure. The load-deformation results are as shown in Table P10.24.

Using a computer spreadsheet program, plot the stress-strain relationship. b. Calculate the modulus of elasticity. c. What is the failure stress?
In the figure below, a joint is made by gluing two plywood gussets of thickness t to wood boards. The tensile working stresses are 1245psi for the plywood and 725psi for the boards. The working shear stress for the glue is 52psi.   Determine the dimension b so that the joint is as strong as the boards.____________inches in 2 decimal places.
